Chefy Jr.?

Chefy and I don't like pre-packaged, pre-breaded, pre-cooked anything. We want to give our customers the feeling of "eating homemade" in Nunnie's dining room. Since we do make everything "to order" it sometimes takes us a few extra minutes. It never fails, that during an incredibly busy time, a table will order an appetizer that needs to be prepared from scratch then deep fried. One of those things is always "Pepperoni Rolls". And my usual response to Chefy is "where's Coltn when we need him?" Coltn is Chefy's four year old and already a master of the "pepioni rolls". Who knows....maybe one day father and son will both be "chefing" in Nunnie's kitchen!
Deep fried pepperoni rolls are served with our own marinara sauce and can be found under the "Getting Started" portion of our menu, along with a few other interesting things that "accidentally" found their way into the deep fryer.
Come hungry.....we think you'll be pleasantly surprised with our selections.

Happy Fall!

For those of you that have never been by to see us, I took a few pictures to show you what Nunnie's looks like. I used the camera on my phone so the colors are not quite accurate. My sister does my decorating....she got her creative genes from our mom! A great big THANK YOU to them both, they make the place look great every season!
 My goal for this blogspot is not only to give you updates to what's happening at Nunnie's Place, but also to "virtually" share our menu with you. I will be taking photos of our regular menu items as well as our specials. We have a feeling you're gonna like what you see!

Getting started.....

A little about us....

Nunnie's Place is a small quaint restaurant offering home cooked comfort food at affordable prices. We have a full time chef, affectionately known as Chefy, and myself who some people refer to as Nunnie, much to my daughter's dismay. As she says "there was only one Nunnie" and I have to admit she's right, there was. We also have a few part-time waitresses to help out on the really busy days.
Owning a restaurant is simply a dream come true for me. The hours are long and the work is hard, but the amount of joy it brings to my life cannot be described in words. I have had many people tell me in the past 19 months how crazy I am for getting into the food business, but the journey has been worth it. I knew absolutely nothing of the restaurant business when I started (biggest reason why I hired a chef), and can honestly say I learn something every day. All I really knew was that I have a heart or passion for food, love to cook and try new recipes, and wanted to share that love with people. And I can say that it gives me real pleasure to see the looks on our customers faces when they taste our food. One of my biggest compliments came the other day when a frequent customer said that "eating at Nunnie's is like having breakfast in a friends kitchen." It was a wonderful feeling because that was one of the things we set out to accomplish!
Welcome to Nunnie's Place.....I hope you'll visit often.
